All The Strange Unfare Things
Peace, 2023
It is funny how things begin to feel normal
When I first heard a war of Ukraine I felt really really bad and horrible. I gave money to different organizations like Unicef, Red Cross to help people in the middle of the war. Did not understand how this is possible in our modern world. Same with Gaza. But I have lived in bubble.
And what happens when time goes by and I begin to forget. Or I don’t want to remember because it is too much and I want to feel safe, there are complicated things in my own life too and these horrible things change to mundane, everyday matter.
All the time I have been thinking what is really happening? Then one day the voice inside me says it aloud, no. It is too strong to make silent.
And that happened to me on Monday.
Today I am not sure how I will continue in Instagram. I feel so bad about it.
And then one day it is normal.
All the strange unfare things.
That I think is very scary.
Here in my journal I share things and thoughts that are intriguing my mind at the moment as an artist.
They can vary a lot and I don’t have a script or plan for the next post. These are thoughts about materials, ingredients, process, light, zeitgeist, ideas - what ever comes to my mind as an artist. This is about the process and you get to hear things “behind the scenes”.
I photograph flowers, plants and mushrooms at my workspace in natural light. I design all the floral works and when the work is ready I push the button. No AI.
Thank you for reading.
